Mars — The Silent Hero Behind Hidden Karma

In astrology, Mars is not just a planet; it is a silent force shaping the entire flow of a person’s life. It rules the first house of identity and the eighth house of hidden karma, transformation, and deep wounds. Because of this dual rulership, Mars quietly becomes the key that unlocks m

any of life’s challenges. Wherever Mars sits in the horoscope, the native’s major problems usually begin from that house, from the matters connected to that house, or from the people related to that house. Once you observe your own horoscope carefully, you will begin to see this pattern unfold clearly.

During my consultations, I always try to find that one loop, the starting point of a person’s struggles. But the process is not always straightforward. Some people carry such grounded and clear energy that even with closed eyes, by the blessings of my Guru, Shri Deepanshu Sir, I can intuitively understand the root of their issues. And then there are days when a client’s energy is so unsettled that even if the planetary combination is right in front of me, predicting becomes difficult. Remedies can always help the native overcome their problem, but the real work of astrology lies in discovering why the problem began in the first place. This is something I learned directly during Guruji’s training. He often calls me his “nalayak student,” and strangely, this makes me feel proud every time because it comes from him.

A few weeks ago, I received a message that immediately stood out. A man wrote, saying he had a constant sense of fear. He could not enjoy joyful moments, nor could he feel sadness properly. His emotional responses felt numb and incomplete. He also mentioned that his mother suffered from spondylitis, and although he wanted to perform remedies, he felt completely incapable of doing so. As I read his message, a heaviness surrounded his words. Something told me this was connected to Mars.

When I opened the chart, the picture became as clear as daylight. Mars was exalted in the ninth house with Jupiter and Venus. I asked him gently if there was any relationship dispute going on in his life. He said yes. I then asked if his parents’ married life was disturbed or if there had been any issues between his father and neighbors. He became silent for a moment and then revealed something that explained everything. His father had an extra-marital affair, and the family found out about it twenty-seven years after the marriage.

The horoscope opened up like a book at that moment. The ninth house represents the father, dharma, guidance, blessings, and destiny. An exalted Mars sitting there with Jupiter and Venus, connected to the eighth house lordship, indicated a wound that had been carried for years. The consultation ended technically within ten minutes because the root cause was already clear, but I spent the remaining time simply explaining the underlying pattern. Just like a surgeon cannot describe every movement of his hand in the operation theatre, but can guide the patient towards healing, similarly, I cannot explain how each intuition forms inside me, but I can show the person the path toward resolution.

I told him that every problem he is facing began from the house where Mars sits. In his chart, every layer supported this. If you looked from the perspective of the ninth house, hidden matters and past karmic actions became even more visible. Saturn’s influence over Pisces, Mercury’s placement in Scorpio, and the emotional turbulence of the Moon all revealed the same story: the father’s hidden karma had cast a shadow over the native’s courage. Even with exalted Mars, fear and emotional numbness had taken over his inner life. And the most striking detail was that the ninth house, when counted from the fourth house of mother, becomes the sixth house—linked to illness and suffering. Jupiter represents the spine, and the mother’s spinal condition reflected the same karmic thread.

Reading this now, it may seem like a simple story. Even writing it feels effortless. But the depth behind this understanding comes from years of teachings, meditations, and discipline given by my Guru, Deepanshu Sir. Whatever clarity I receive during consultations is a reflection of his guidance. We remain forever grateful and offer our knowledge at his feet.
